JUCONI - Ecuador - Workshop Description
Together with JUCONI and in partnership with Charlotte Miller Art Project and Everything is Possible, U.K Photographer Laura Montag and Ecuadorian Psychologist Erika Baidal ran a 3-month photography project in the Ecuadorian port city of Guayaquil. This project has been funded through the 'Youth in Action' programme of the European Union. The project enabled 10 young street involved and high- risk youth to access opportunities to develop, explore and express feelings about their current situation through photography. The young people involved live in conditions of extreme poverty and social exclusion and lack recreational or creative-orientated spaces.
With limited resources but a determined group of enthusiastic teenagers we ran a series of workshops that were held twice a week in various locations from medical centres or classrooms in local schools.
The young people were given basic digital cameras and through a series of technical and creative workshops learnt skills of e.g. using flash, shutter-speed, aperture control and also the investigation of light, composition and decisive moment.
Setting the theme as the ‘interaction of cultures’, the young people photographed within their communities to document their own lives, ambitions, fears and hopes, focussing on aspects of their own culture to tell their story.

Setting the theme as the ‘interaction of cultures’, the young people photographed within their communities to document their own lives, ambitions, fears and hopes, focussing on aspects of their own culture to tell their story.
In the first sessions many of the young people experienced difficulties in starting the project and trying to think of intercultural ideas through images. To help the young people get started we created sketches and montages of found images to illustrate ideas of what ‘intercultural’ means to us. Different types of dance, food, race, music and fashion were explored. Two participants, who’s families immigrated from Africa to Ecuador, wanted to show how dance and particular styles of African dance are an important aspect of their life. They both belong to a community dance group.
In order to help the young people to develop further ideas for personal projects we began by creating role-plays, looking at researched images, and creating interviews to help to think how we might illustrate intercultural situations within our own lives.
Some of the young people decided to focus and explore on ideas such as inter-racial couples and the problems that can be faced within their own communities. Other ideas to photograph were how different religions exist in Ecuador, or even the huge array of cuisine and traditions that can differ from region to region.

Over a period of 6 weeks, the young people photographed in their communities and twice a week me met up to share ideas and images with the rest of the group. We used a projector so as to help discuss the images within the group. The young people found it useful to share their images to the group and talk about further ideas for their personal projects.
